Swiss Army
Neutral nation's forces
Swiss Army refers to the military forces of Switzerland, known for universal male conscription and a citizen-soldier model.
The term appears most often as a modifier in Swiss Army knife, the iconic red-handled multitool with folding blades and implements.
By extension, Swiss Army describes anything versatile or multipurpose: She's the Swiss Army knife of the department—handles everything.
